Simulation Analysis of Engine-Oil inside the Clearance between Crankshaft Journal and Bearing Shells in the Ideal Stable Conditions

Abstract:

For the bush-burning problem in the course of the engine operation. Taking a certain kind of engine as reference, build a 3D geometric model of the engine-oil flow field in the ideal stable conditions with GAMBIT and conduct a simulation of it with FLUENT. It reveals that we can have an intuitive understanding of the flow state and pressure distribution of the engine-oil inside the clearance between the crankshaft main journal and crankshaft bearing as well as the rod journal and rod bearing which provides basis for a further refining of bearing lubrication system, improving the lubrication method and enhancing the efficiency of the lubrication.
